[Nix-dev] read-only store on its own filesystem

Hi all,
I have my /nix/store on a separate filesystem.
It seems that because of this, the new read-only store functionality
does not work.
In stage-2-init.sh (line 53):
if [ -n "@readOnlyStore@" ]; then
if ! mountpoint -q /nix/store; then
mount --bind /nix/store /nix/store
mount -o remount,ro,bind /nix/store
fi
fi
mountpoint -q will return successfully in my case and skip setting up
the read-only stuff.
Why is this check there?
Is there a reason not to use this functionality when a mountpoint (store
on other fs) is detected?
Thanks,
Mathijs
